3D Split Braid | Three Different Looks

We had a reader recently email us this easy braid technique, asking if we could make a tutorial of it! Brooklyn actually saw the email first, ran in to show me, and we fell in LOVE with how beautiful it is!

The girls named this the 3D Split Braid, because it does have a similar look to our 3D Round Braid, but the stitching is completely different.

You literally, simply, “split” the outside strands in your braiding! How cool is that?

Today, Kamri and I will teach you how to create this easy Split Braid technique, but we will also be showing you a few other hairstyles we created that were inspired by it…

One aspect we really love, is that this is yet another braid you can add to your hairstyle/combo arsenal {use it tied up into a bun, ponytail, side braid, tieback, accent, etc}!

We are also classifying this hairstyle as a “Daddy ‘Do” because it is so easy… even a dad can do it!

To see your recreations featured in our CGH App, feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGH3DSplitBraid

Begin by placing the hair in a ponytail, securing it with a ponytail holder…

Split the ponytail into three even strands…

Now split the left-most section into two pieces, with your index finger…

Next, pull the middle strand in between and through the left “split” strands you just created…

Combine the two split stands together to become the middle strand…

Now take the right-most strand of hair and split it into two even strands with your index finger…

Next, pull the middle strand in between and through the right “split” strands you just created…

Then combine the two split stands together to become the middle strand…

Continue with Steps #3-8 until the braid forms and you run out of hair…

Secure with an elastic.

Add hairspray and an accessory {if desired}.

Happy Hairstyling!
